Why UGGs Are Having a Massive Fashion Moment in 2025

UGGs are just winter shoes, right? Cosy, yes. Stylish? Questionable. But here’s the thing, 2025 has flipped that idea on its head.

UGGs aren’t just back. They’ve gone global. What used to be your throw-on pair for running errands has become a full-blown fashion statement. From platform soles strutting down city streets to Ultra Mini boots popping up in influencer hauls, UGGs have earned their place at the front of the trend cycle, not just in Australia, but everywhere from New York to Tokyo.

And no, it’s not just the same old classics. This year’s styles are bolder, fluffier, more elevated (sometimes literally), and blur the line between loungewear and streetwear. Whether you’re chasing comfort, making a style move, or both, you’ve got options.

In this guide, you’ll get the lowdown on the top UGG styles dominating 2025. We’ll break down what’s trending, why everyone’s obsessed, and which pairs are worth sliding your feet into this season.

1. Platform UGGs Are Giving You That Extra Edge (and Height)

If you thought UGGs were all about laid-back, flat-soled comfort, think again. Platform UGGs are everywhere right now, and they’re doing more than just keeping your feet warm.

This year, the platform look has gone from niche to necessary. With their chunky soles and elevated height, these aren’t your mum’s UGGs. They give off that effortless “I’m comfy and cool” vibe, without sacrificing practicality. Think of them as the lovechild of your favourite cloud-like slipper and your go-to streetwear boots.

Here are a few styles from the UGG’s Top Trending collection that are setting the standard:

• Premium Tassie Platform UGG Slippers – These give you indoor comfort with outdoor energy. A slipper that doesn’t feel lazy.

• Ultra Mini Platform UGG Boots – The classic mini boot, now with extra lift. A staple for anyone who wants something classic with a bit more punch.

• Mini Atasha Platform UGG Boots - With a sleek, slightly chunkier shape, these bring a polished look to the platform trend. They’re easy to dress up or down and feel just as good as they look.

So why are platform UGGs trending so hard? Easy. They hit the sweet spot between statement and subtle. You can throw them on with an oversized hoodie and still look put together. Plus, that added height makes your legs look longer without the pain of heels — and who doesn’t want that?

2. Mini and Ultra-Short UGGs Are Stealing the Show

If there’s one silhouette that’s absolutely everywhere right now, it’s the mini. The shorter the boot, the hotter the trend, and in 2025, ultra-short UGGs are dominating street style, social feeds, and wardrobes across the globe.

These cut-down versions of the classic boot aren’t just cute, they’re easy to throw on, super versatile, and have that perfect balance of casual and cool. Whether you're pairing them with bike shorts, baggy jeans, or even loungewear sets, they work. And because they don’t rise too high up the ankle, they’re great for transitional weather too, not just freezing winters.

Here are a few must-have picks from our UGG Originals collection:

• Selena Ultra Short UGG Boots – The it-girl boot of the moment. Sleek, minimal, and perfect for that “I didn’t try too hard but still look great” vibe.

• Premium Mini UGG Boots – A step up from the ultra-short, these give a bit more warmth while still keeping that low-profile silhouette. A timeless option if you want something a little more classic.
  Classic Mini UGG Boots – The OG. Reliable, comfortable, and still trending strong. It’s the boot that never really left, but now it’s getting its spotlight moment all over again.

Why the obsession with shorter boots? They’re easy. They’re flattering. And they play nicely with literally everything in your wardrobe. Plus, they add a relaxed, street-ready feel that’s totally in step with the oversized and ‘'90s-inspired looks ruling fashion right now.

3. Fluffy Slippers & Scuffs Are Breaking Out of the House

Once upon a time, UGG slippers were strictly for home. Now? They’re hitting cafes, campus, and even casual nights out. In 2025, fluffy UGG slippers have officially made the leap from lounge to street, and they’re not going anywhere.

These styles are all about feel-good fashion. Plush textures, bold colours, and easy slip-on shapes are winning over everyone from influencers to uni students to busy mums on the go. They offer serious comfort (of course), but with just enough flair to make a statement.

Here are a few fluffy favourites:

• UGG Premium Scuff Slippers – A sheepskin-lined essential with a timeless shape. Perfect for quick errands or lazy Sundays that still require good coffee.
  

• UGG Fluffy Slides – If you’re into bold textures and maximum fluff, these are a must. Wear them with socks for peak off-duty cool.
  

• Tassy Platform UGG Slippers – These blur the line between slipper and shoe. With their elevated sole and plush lining, they’re comfy enough to live in, but cool enough to wear out.

Why are they trending? Because they speak to what fashion is craving right now: comfort with personality. And with the rise of “soft dressing” (think: luxe loungewear, oversized fits, textured layers), fluffy UGGs just work. Whether you’re heading out for brunch or staying in with Netflix, they’re the kind of footwear that feels like a treat every time you slip them on.

4. Classic UGG Boots, Reinvented for 2025

UGGs have always been about comfort, that soft sheepskin lining, that familiar shape, that easy-to-wear energy. But in 2025, the classic UGG boot isn’t just sticking to what it knows. It’s evolving.

What we’re seeing now is a fresh take on tradition. The timeless silhouette is still there, but with subtle updates that make all the difference, think water-resistant finishes, slimmer profiles, elevated stitching, and new colourways that go beyond basic chestnut or black. The result? A boot that feels modern, looks polished, and still wraps your feet in that signature warmth.

Trending styles in this lane: UGG Originals:

• UGG Premium Short Classic Boots – The heritage shape, but with premium finishes that take it up a notch. They’re durable, refined, and still go with everything.
  

• UGG Premium Mini Classic Boots – A short-and-sweet version of the classic, perfect if you want the traditional look without the full height.
  

• UGG Selena Ultra Short Boots – A slightly more structured shape, with a snug fit and modern feel. These boots are popular for a reason, they’re a blend of cosy and sleek.

These updated classics are great for anyone who doesn’t want to dive into bold trends, but still wants something current. They’re versatile enough to wear season after season, and subtle upgrades mean you won’t feel like you’re stuck in 2012.

They prove one thing: you don’t need to reinvent the wheel when the original still works, you just need to polish it.

5. UGG Accessories & Hybrid Styles Are Quietly Trending

It’s not just boots and slippers getting all the attention this year, UGG accessories and hybrid pieces are having their own moment. In 2025, UGG Originals is expanding its footprint (literally and figuratively) with products that round out the cosy lifestyle look, from sheepskin-lined moccasins to earmuffs and care kits that keep your gear in top shape.

These aren’t afterthoughts; they’re stylish, functional, and surprisingly on-trend. They're perfect for anyone who wants the UGG feel without committing to a full boot, or for those looking to give their current UGGs a bit of extra longevity and care.

Some standout items:

• UGG Accessories Care Kit – A must-have if you want your boots to last longer and look newer. This kit keeps your suede and sheepskin looking fresh, which is crucial if you're investing in premium styles.
  

• UGG Earmuffs – Equal parts cute and practical. These add warmth and a little winter chic, especially when paired with a classic boot or mini style.
  

• UGG Moccasins – These strike a perfect balance between slipper and everyday shoe. Comfy enough for indoors, stylish enough to run errands without looking like you forgot to get dressed.

What ties all these pieces together is the same thing that’s made UGG boots iconic: comfort that doesn’t compromise on style. Whether you're looking to accessorise your cold-weather wardrobe or just want a new way to enjoy the UGG aesthetic, these hybrids and extras are a smart pick.

The Bottom Line: UGGs Are Bigger, Bolder and More Wearable Than Ever
